New Year's Eve

We're all snuggled up on the couch watching Dick Clark as I have for as long as I can remember (except maybe when I was really little and my grandmother watched Lawrence Welk ring in the new year).

Nathan and Frankie had their annual dental cleanings this week. I was very concerned with Nathan getting anesthesia. But, I didn't want to neglect his dental health. Turns out he had gingivitis and the vet put him on antibiotics. Frankie was A-OK.

Not much progress in the last couple weeks in terms of walking. Still holding steady at one 1/2 mile per day + 2 short walks. Still working on getting him to try to pee on command. He can nearly empty his bladder on a long walk thru the park trail marking territory. He's nailed the fact he gets a kibble for each pee pee, so he does it at least 10 times thru the 1/2 mile trail. Hoping this translates at some point to normal peeing.

I can't believe its been 9 months since his surgery. Here's hoping for big progress in the new year!
